I used to live in a place named Kitchener, Ontario. It used to be called Berlin (German being the largest ethnic group at the time), but during WWI, we proper Canadians said, "We can't have that then, can we!" and it was decided that the town should be named after the man who is credited with inventing the concentration camp, Lord Kitchener. Anyway, right next to the dilapidated train station was (you guessed it) The Station Hotel. It was the biggest dive in town. "Rooms rented by the month, week, day or hour", should have been it's motto. It had one of the few bars in Kitchener that I'd never been in. I mention all of this to underscore your sage advice, Bob. cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson
